1. Cylindrical samples were used in an experiment where thermocouples 3 cm apart measured an 8°C temperature difference with 0.6 A drawn at 110 V, allowing the thermal conductivity to be calculated as 98.5 W/m·K. 2. Hot air at 80°C blowing over a flat surface at 30°C with a convection coefficient of 55 W/m2·K would transfer heat at a rate of 22 kW. 3. A person with an exposed area of 1.7 m2 and 32°C surface temperature would lose heat at 26.7 W in a room at 300 K or 121 W in a room at 280 K.

1.

In a certain experiment, cylindrical samples of diameter 4 cm and length 7 cm are


used. The two thermocouples in each sample are placed 3 cm apart. After initial
transients, the electric heater is observed to draw 0.6 A at 110 V, and both differential
thermometers read a temperature difference of 8°C. Determine the thermal
conductivity of the sample. Answer: 98.5 W/m·K

2. Hot air at 80°C is blown over a 2-m 3 4-m flat surface at 30°C. If the average convection
heat transfer coefficient is 55 W/m2·K, determine the rate of heat transfer from the
air to the plate, in kW. Answer: 22 kW

3. Consider a person whose exposed surface area is 1.7 m2, emissivity is 0.5, and surface
temperature is 32°C. Determine the rate of heat loss from that person by radiation in
a large room having walls at a temperature of (a) 300 K and (b) 280 K. Answers: (a)
26.7 W, (b) 121 W

4. Consider a person standing in a room at 18°C. Determine the total rate of heat transfer
from this person if the exposed surface area and the skin temperature of the person
are 1.7 m2 and 32°C, respectively, and the convection heat transfer coefficient is 5
W/m2·K. Take the emissivity of the skin and the clothes to be 0.9 and assume the
temperature of the inner surfaces of the room to be the same as the air temperature.
